My favorite athlete, Georges St. Pierre, wrote an interesting tweet today it said
" People ask why I train 7 days a week, all year long. It's simple: that's 5-6 more hours of training a week than if I was on a 6-day program. I’ve been doing this for the last 10 years- I'll let you do the math! Keep getting better every day!!! "
Wow! That's dedication! We can draw a beautiful parallel between this dedication and our lives as believers. As the time is closing in on our mission my prayer is that we have this same dedication. We sometimes think, like most athletes, that we train hard then we take a break. Yes we take our sabbath, but we never should stop training. Let me be CLEAR, we are NOT going on a vacation. This is not going to be just a trip you go on over the summer. This is not just 2 weeks away from your parents. This is going to be training. This will be challenging, trying, and a testing of our faith. There WILL be spiritual battles. There will be mental and physical challenges.
Yes, we will have a ton of fun. And yes, it will be vacation-like. However, we must not forget our mission and priority; serve, proclaim the gospel, love. So before we depart, friends, let's be ready. Let's be prayed up. Let us be rested up. Let us be bold and unashamed. This will be life changing. This will be life challenging.
So when we leave the parking lot, lets leave expecting great things. Leave with audacious, radical, mountain moving goals. Stepping out in faith trusting that God will protect, provide, and move powerfully in Arizona. Pray that the Lord would be working in the lives of whom we will minister to and also to us before our mission.
We won't stop till our mission is accomplished. We will be training all 7 days, all 24 hours. We won't let our guard down because our enemy is relentless and does not sleep. So let's be ready for the fight

Let's turn the world upside down!
